Who we are

Scientific Visual SA is a privately held company located in Lausanne, Switzerland. It develops quality control systems for optical materials to improve watch, LED and smartphone production.

Scientific Visual technologies improve the quality and speed of sapphire processing by objectively identifying and quantifying internal defects in sapphire at earlier stages in the production cycle than previously possible. For the first time sapphire users are able to establish objective, observer-independent and traceable quality control processes that reduce production costs and streamline their supply chain.

SapphiroScan® is the only automatic quality control system for unpolished sapphire available on the market. It builds on refractive index-matching technology – a rigorously validated method – to visualize internal defects in synthetic gems.
